The context:
As the world’s leading group of science museums, we share an unparalleled collection spanning science, engineering, mathematics and medicine with a global audience. We care for over ½ million objects together with millions of archive and photography items.
The diversity of the collection ranges from small, intricate watches to large, impressive trains.
The challenge:
To digitise the collection.
The strategy:
A two-pronged approach:
